connell: is there any way in this current, you know, environment to get close to where you guys were talking about without raising rates? >> it does not have to happen. i think it is the easiest way to guarantee that you'll get some additional reveeue. that does not mean once you drive the rates back up -- we are actually able to bring the top rates down to the high 20s. i think that is probably more aggressive than where we will go. it all depends on where you start your baseline. one of the things that is also important is. the more revenue we get, it also means more entitlement cuts and spending which means the bigger the deal, the better it is. connell: give me an odds, you are pretty optimistic? >> i think it is an 80% chance we avoid the cliff. but, do we avoid the cliff with a real deal or not? connell: senator warner, thanks a lot. dagen: i know the senator was that did what i have to say, go redskins. he has been terrific. one good thing to come out of d.c. calico weapons may be the last straw. we talked to you about the latest in syria. connell: 401(k) matches on employees.
